With research showing field productivity boosted by 25% and installed project cost reduced by up to 10%, Advanced Work Packaging (AWP) is more than an industry buzzword. It’s catching on as a successful project management approach based on project thinking with the end in mind, emphasizing construction sequencing in driving upfront planning. Megaproject owners were early adopters of AWP, but more owners now require it from contractors before bidding on a project.

During this webinar, you’ll learn from the AWP experts:

How AWP can be scaled to a project's size

Why owners need to drive its use early

How users can harness technology, including AI

Register for this webinar and learn how to set the right tone on your project, and execute work packages with dazzling efficiency.
